Delectable linen

11 Aug in Links, The Cottage | Comments (0)

One of my very best things must be getting into bed when I have changed my linen. I am a bit of a purist when it comes to bedding and have always only ever bought white pure cotton linen. I iron all our linen myself ( I know – it’s crazy – but there you are) and both David and I delight in climbing into bed and enjoying the feeling of fresh white cotton, so I was really suprised when I came across Bella Notte Linens and was temped by the most sumptuous, colours and fabrics – I might need to rethink my dedication to white cotton…………

Pearl Earrings

This pair of earrings has been very popular, especially with the colder weather closing in and the warm sumptuous colours coming out in our woolies – delicious cranberry coloured pearls hovering over a bronze coin pearl.

Flowers for Maryam

02 Oct in Flowers, Links | Comments (0)

Maryam of My Marrakesh has been to Rwanda in the last week. Today her post was horrifying and I have thought about the genocide that occured there all day. I can’t even imagine how she must have felt – hearing and seeing all she did first hand. How is it that we vow never to let these things happen again and yet they do and how is it that one human being can do these things to another?

Rose Quartz Necklace

15 Sep in Jewellery, Links | Comments (0)

I found these lovely Rose quartz rectangles some time ago and couldn’t resist them – Why? I don’t know as I am not very fond of Rose Quartz. It’s a very tricky colour to wear unless you are tanned or naturally dark skinned or you have the famed English Rose complexion – I don’t fit in to any of the above categories!

I think I liked these as they are an unusual shape and are so nicely polished, they are absolutely perfectly smooth. Anyway, they have been lurking in my stash of stones and when I came across this chain I just knew they would be perfect.

I am loving incorporating stones and other components into chains at the moment – perhaps you noticed this…….? I think this necklace came out wonderfully and I am re-thinking my opinion on Rose Quartz!

Have you been to www.hejhog.co.uk yet? I would certainly recommend that you visit this lovely site. They sell an interesting and very diverse range of products which are either organic, natural or derived from a sustainable source – something we should all be concerned with.

You could spoil yourself with an impressive range of cosmetics or treat a little one to a beautiful hand made wooden toy.

Flowers go to Shaun at hejhog today for his exceptional customer service!

The Bourne Ultimatum

Dave and I have just returned home from watching “The Bourne Ultimatum”. We loved the first two and could barely wait for the release of the last in the trilogy – and it was fab!

I was a bit disappointed that it didn’t follow the book – Robert Ludlum’s “The Bourne Trilogy” more closely – but none the less – worth going to see. We’ve read the book, we’ve seen the movie and if there was a T-shirt – we’d be wearing it!

Department Store Rant

21 Aug in Links | Comments (0)

I loathe department Stores. I dislike having to trawl through rail upon rail to find something and they just seem to leave very little room for individuality.

When I lived in South Africa, I loved going into the Jenni Button Boutiques. This designer uses wonderful fabrics and makes clothes ranging from the everyday to the outright glamorous and drop-dead gorgeous. Visiting her shops was also heaven for me because everything was so beautifully laid out; you could see the clothes without having to scrounge around.

My last pair of Jenni Button shoes is getting really worn out and so I was thrilled to come across her website recently – unfortunately the site is quite dismal, but the clothes are still dreamy! Fortunately I will be able to stock up next April when we travel to S.A. again!

Jude Miller Paper Creations

Passion Flower Jude Miller

I came across Jude Miller’s website today and could hardly believe that her creations are made from paper!

I love it when someone who is obviously so talented finds their perfect vocation and is rewarded for it. Jude Miller must fall in this category.

Being a “flower” girl, I really struggled to choose a picture of her work to put up here – I think my favorites must be the Passionflowers, but for those of you who have contacted me recently for wedding jewellery – have a look at the Bindweed Garland, there are all kinds of wonderful things you could do with that!
